Food

There are a number of large grocery store chains, as well as smaller convenience stores, in close proximity to the Center.

Furniture

There are many local furniture stores, plus home accessories and kitchenware stores in the many nearby malls. Also, there are often notices around the Center from staff members who want to sell furniture. This is by far the best way to find affordable furniture. In the summer, also look in local newspapers for notices about Yard Sales. The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper Sunday edition is full of advertisements for shops and sales. This newspaper can be a useful source of information. Also, Ikea is about 30 minutes away from Fox Chase.

Banks

There are several banks in the vicinity of the Center. Some banks offer free checking to Fox Chase staff members. The American Heritage Federal Credit Union also offers checking accounts to Fox Chase staff members. The Credit Union visits the Center on a monthly basis. Please check the Human Resources bulletin board for locations and dates.

For your convenience, an ATM machine is located near the gift shop by the Women's Cancer Center. This machine is for withdrawals only; no deposits will be accepted.

Stamps

The nearest post offices to the Center are on Central Avenue, Rising Sun Avenue and the Roosevelt Mall. Stamps can also be obtained from the reception desk in the Reimann building between 1-2 p.m.
